Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 63 - Fist Bombardment Deacon

"Long Chen is actually this strong!" the disciples exclaimed, their faces paling in shock.

With nothing but his oppressive aura, he had managed to severely injure the five leading disciples, second only to Tang Le!

This undoubtedly proved that Long Chen, like Tang Le, could take on and defeat all the disciples from the C Institute on his own!

"I even spoke up for you guys, and yet you still had to provoke Brother Long." Tang Le rolled his eyes in exasperation.

The faces of the five leading disciples turned deathly pale. They could no longer remain conscious and fainted on the spot from their severe injuries.

"Long Chen, Tang Le, you haven’t determined a victor yet. You cannot leave the Brawl Forest," Huang Xu said, suddenly stepping in to block their way.

Long Chen looked at Huang Xu blocking his path and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Tang Le’s face was full of displeasure. "I admit I can’t beat Brother Long. Can’t I just concede?"

Huang Xu replied in a flat tone, "If everyone just handed their victory to others like you, what would be the point of the Brawl Forest?"

Hearing this, the five Heads of the Court all nodded in agreement.

The very reason the Brawl Forest existed was for disciples to spar with one another, honing their skills through these exchanges.

While it wasn’t uncommon for weaker disciples to yield to stronger ones without a fight, it still had to be believable.

As it stood, Long Chen’s combat power was immense, and Tang Le was similarly formidable; it was impossible to say for sure who was stronger.

Casually conceding in front of the Stewards and Heads of the Court with a simple "I admit I can’t beat him" was indeed unacceptable.

"The two of you will have a proper match. Don’t think you can put on a fake show right under our noses," one of the Heads of the Court said.

Tang Le threw up his hands in defeat, turning to Long Chen. "Brother Long, it looks like we have to fight."

"Then let’s fight," Long Chen said, putting away his Storage Bag. He happened to want to test just how powerful Tang Le truly was.

Tang Le narrowed his eyes. "Brother Long, to keep people from saying we’re faking it, how about we use our full power and settle this in one move?"

Evidently, Tang Le also wanted to test Long Chen’s combat power.

"Fine! Bring it on!" Battle qi erupted, swirling around Long Chen’s body.

Tang Le clenched his fists and shot toward Long Chen. "You’d better be ready for this!"

ROAR!

As the roar of a wild beast echoed, the phantom image of a fierce tiger formed from pure flame materialized behind Tang Le!

At that moment, Tang Le’s aura surged, climbing to the War Maniac Realm!

"That’s the Vajra Fierce Tiger Fist! He’s actually cultivated two Earth-Level Martial Techniques!" the five Heads of the Court exclaimed in astonishment.

The disciples of the C Institute were green with envy. As expected of the Great Elder’s disciple. Even as a Third-Class Disciple, he can cultivate Earth-Level Martial Techniques.

Any disciple without such backing would have to be promoted to a Second-Class Disciple to even qualify for an Earth-Level Martial Technique.

"Long Chen is using a martial technique too... Is that aura Mysterious-Level?" everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

The technique Long Chen was using was one of the Long Family’s two unique Mysterious-Level Martial Techniques: the Furious Thunder Finger!

But how could a Mysterious-Level Martial Technique possibly stand against an Earth-Level Martial Technique? They weren’t even in the same league!

PFFT... SKID! SKID! SKID!

Yet when their fist and finger collided, it was Tang Le who spat out a mouthful of blood. He stumbled back again and again before finally collapsing to the ground!

Long Chen, in contrast, had only been pushed back three steps!

"How is that possible!" The crowd stared, their faces etched with disbelief.

A Mysterious-Level Martial Technique had clashed with an Earth-Level one, and the Earth-Level technique had lost?

"Tang Le, you have some nerve!" Huang Xu’s eyes turned frosty. "You are a Half-step War Maniac, and Long Chen’s aura is only at the Ninth Layer of the War Master Realm. How dare you go easy on him in public?"

Just as Huang Xu said, Long Chen’s true cultivation was indeed the Ninth Layer of the War Master Realm.

Tang Le, however, was a Half-step War Maniac, a level above Long Chen, and he had even used an Earth-Level Martial Technique.

Long Chen was a level lower in his realm and had used a Mysterious-Level Martial Technique, yet he had won!

What could this be, if not a blatant, shameless act of throwing the fight?

"COUGH! COUGH, COUGH!"

Hearing this, Tang Le was so enraged he began coughing up more blood, his face flushed red as he roared, "I did not go easy on him! If you don’t believe me, you can try fighting him yourself!"

At this moment, Tang Le was seething with both anger and humiliation. His realm was higher, his technique was a grade better, and yet he had still lost! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

And on top of that, he had to be publicly accused of throwing the fight by Huang Xu?

Tang Le truly wished he had lost because he’d been holding back, but the harsh reality was that he had been genuinely defeated!

"You dare argue? It seems you won’t learn your lesson until you’re taught one!" Huang Xu declared, stepping forward as if to attack.

"He is not arguing," Long Chen interjected. "We both used our full strength. If he hadn’t expended so much battle qi using the Refining Fire Prison earlier, our match would have been a draw."

Long Chen’s brow furrowed. Everything I thought before was wrong! The Third Layer of the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula can increase one’s combat power by three levels, but this is just a boost to combat power, not a true increase in one’s realm. Therefore, my combat power is only comparable to a Half-step War Maniac, while my true realm is still the Ninth Layer of the War Master Realm. Although the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body granted invincibility against those in the same realm, this only applies if both combatants are truly at the same level. Only by actually reaching the Half-step War Maniac Realm can one be truly invincible and easily defeat any opponent of the same rank. My current combat power is only enough to be on par with Tang Le at his peak. The only reason I won was because he had already depleted so much of his battle qi. Otherwise, I would have been pushed back much more than just three steps.

Long Chen’s eyes flickered with new understanding. Only the Divine Demon Secret Technique, Dragon Blood Boiling, can bring about a true increase in my realm. The Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula merely enhances combat power! I’m lucky I encountered an opponent as strong as Tang Le, otherwise I would have remained completely in the dark.

"Heh, you really care about your reputation, don’t you? Daring to help Tang Le fabricate such lies!" Huang Xu glared coldly at Long Chen. "Although you have mastered the Earthly Body and your combat power has increased, it’s not enough for someone at the Ninth Layer of the War Master Realm to defeat a Half-step War Maniac so easily! What’s more, you only used a measly Mysterious-Level Martial Technique, while Tang Le used an Earth-Level one!"

A Head of the Court spoke up, his voice grave. "Steward Huang is correct! This is undeniable! Tang Le definitely went easy just now!"

"Long Chen, even if Steward Chen thinks highly of you, you can’t just stand there and tell such bald-faced lies, can you?"

"That’s not how you earn respect! A thrown fight is a thrown fight. Do you have the nerve to claim you’re actually stronger than Tang Le?"

The other Heads of the Court began to berate him one after another.

"If you don’t believe it, then one of you should come out and fight him at the same realm!" Tang Le gritted his teeth and pushed himself to his feet, a mocking expression on his face. "I guarantee he’ll make you spit blood and lose all face!"

"I don’t mind fighting any one of you," Long Chen stated calmly.

The five Heads of the Court exchanged glances before turning their gazes to Huang Xu, waiting for him to make a decision.

A cold light flashed in Huang Xu’s eyes as he suddenly sneered, "Still being shamelessly difficult, are you? Fine! Let me see just how capable this kid from Dragon City really is, the one Sister Chen Yao took such a liking to that she even brought you back to live with her!"

BUZZ!

The instant he finished speaking, Huang Xu raised his hand and formed a series of seals, suppressing his own realm down to the Ninth Layer of the War Master Realm.

"I will not hold back! If you die or end up crippled, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself!

"Out of respect for Sister Chen Yao, if you admit you were lying right now, I can still give you a light punishment! But if you insist on this delusion... then by all means, come at me. Just be ready to face the consequences!"

Hearing this, Long Chen’s lips curled into a cold sneer. With a light tap of his foot, he shot forward and threw a punch directly at Huang Xu’s face.
